Light in the Dark
The darkness descends.
Hello, my friend.
Hisssssss.
Remember the pain, remember the lies,
Remember the feelings you disguise.
Terrifying cold, the biting steel
Running red so you can feel.
Roaring darkness speak softly.
A little light shines through.
Who are you?
Please.
Remember the joy, remember the life,
Blow away the pain and strife.
Open your heart, drive the cold away
Just to live another day.
Quiet little light, speak louder.
Find your way.
For you, I pray.
Remember you're loved, don't listen to the lie,
You are amazing and you can fly.
The world can be a cold, dark place,
But please put a smile on your beautiful face.

I'm an artist, poet, and programmer in training. I often think that my mind works like a computer and I don't easily understand metaphors, symbols, tone, and theme in poetry or other forms of literature and that's where my inspiration seems to be coming from. I've found that I like to mix up programming (in Java) with poetry so some lines in my poems seem a little wacky because they are in Java (which is in itself an actual language). Other times, though, I just throw words in my head onto "paper". I love haiku that follow the 5-7-5 layout (I generally like things with clear rules that aren't nitwitical) and often make up haiku for, well, everything!
